Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang
Chapter 740: The Ending of the Guan Family's Rebellious Son (Part 3)
At the foot of Beimang Mountain, when the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone into the house, Guan Lin stretched.
All he remembered was that last night... seemed crazy.
This is the craziest time since he came to this world. This is no longer as simple as listening to music. It almost feels like his body is about to fall apart.
Of course, this was also the craziest look he had ever seen, completely different from Zhang Xingcai in the daytime——
call…
Exhale gently.
Looking at Zhang Xingcai who was still sleeping soundly, Guan Lin did not disturb him, but gently put on his underwear. Even though he accidentally touched the table and made a soft "creep" sound, Zhang Xingcai still did not wake up and fell asleep. Perfectly ripe.
It seems that last night's madness... also exhausted this girl's body to the extreme.
Complete recovery cannot be achieved with just one night's rest.
Because it was at the foot of the mountain, and because it was the season of crisp autumn air, Guan Lin put down the quilt for Zhang Xingcai for fear that she would catch a cold, then stood up, opened the door... and welcomed the fresh air...
I never thought about it...
Outside the door, including on the ridge surrounding the villa, there were several rows of spearmen. These spearmen were all wearing iron armor, with two white ribbons hanging from the sides of their helmets. The size of the spears in their hands was also unusual, with a full length. It is about eight feet tall, and the spear head is more than a foot long. It is eye-catching and dazzling. You can tell at a glance that it is made of fine iron!
Guan Lin is no stranger to this kind of makeup. He is uncle Liu Bei's personal bodyguard - the elite white soldier!
It turns out that they were guarding here early in the morning.
When he saw Guan Lin going out, he stepped forward and saluted, "See you, Mr. Guan..."
Guan Lin was a little surprised and asked subconsciously: "You guys arrived last night?"
"No!" A leader of the Baijie soldiers deliberately lied, "We just arrived..."
However, asking an elite soldier to lie is not their specialty.
Guan Lin pondered lightly, and without pointing out anything, he simply asked: "I can dispatch you, and it is such a big battle. Is it the uncle who summoned me?"
"Yes!" Leader Bai Zhen explained: "It was the Wei general Zhang Liao who paid homage to the lord last night and said that it was a matter of the northern border and he must not discuss it with Young Master Yunqi, so... he sent us here this early in the morning, but the lord specifically asked, Let the young master have a good rest and don't disturb him...I'll report it when he wakes up!"
Following the words of the white-eared leader.
Another white-eared soldier added. "The carriage is ready... Without further ado, Young Master... let's set off immediately. The Lord has not closed his eyes all night, and is waiting for Young Master!"
oh…
Hearing this, Guan Lin nodded, but thought that Zhang Xingcai was still sleeping soundly in the room, so he opened his mouth: "Wait for me a moment..."
As soon as the words came out, Guan Lin ran back to the house.
Obviously, Bai Jiebing's movement was still too loud, and Zhang Xingcai had already woken up.
And when she heard that there were so many soldiers outside the door, even her "silver armor shone coldly" on the battlefield, now she just turned into a coy and shy little girl.
But when Guan Lin returned to the room, the coyness and shyness disappeared in an instant.
yes!
Last night was so crazy, both sides were honest with each other, there was no secret.
Only in front of Yun Qi, there was no need for any coquettishness or shyness.
"them?"
"If you are sleepy, just sleep a little longer. If you don't want them to stay to protect you, then I will arrange for them to all leave!"
Zhang Xingcai didn't need to ask, Guan Lin's words had already given her the best answer she wanted.
——"It's still the same, you can always think of what others think in advance!" 』
Zhang Xingcai's heart moved slightly, and then he smiled at Guan Lin, "Since uncle is calling you, you don't need to worry about me, just mind your own business..."
Guan Lin stared deeply at Zhang Xingcai again.
"Sure! Then I'll go over first...come to Guanfu in the evening, and I'll introduce my wife...to them--"
Having said this, Guan Lin paused for a moment, then turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a moment…"
Zhang Xingcai shouted urgently.
It wasn't that she couldn't understand the importance... or that the newlyweds couldn't bear to leave, but that damn competitive spirit drove her to ask the question she had wanted to ask all night.
"how?"
"Ask you something..."
"Ask!"
"Then I really asked..."
Seeing Zhang Xingcai's mysterious look, Guan Lin spread his hands and smiled back at her. "Tell me everything you know..."
It was at this time that Zhang Xingcai's competitive spirit took over, and the question that had been buried deep in his heart all night finally came out.
"Yun Qi, do you think...do you think..."
"Me... me or that Sun Luyu, between the two of us... who is more comfortable?"
ah…
For a moment, Guan Lin felt that the Tianling Gai was about to be shattered by thunder.
This is... what is this?
Can this be written?
With a "gudong" sound, Guan Lin swallowed a mouthful of spit...
"Who is it?" Zhang Xingcai was still asking urgently, with a strong air of being unwilling to give up until the winner was determined.
It's a good thing he wasn't eating, otherwise this sentence would be enough to make Guan Lin choke to death...
Having said that, it’s a completely different style…
One is the academic school taught by my mother-in-law, and the other is the brutalist school who grew up in the military. It can only be said that each has its own merits.
Of course, Guan Lin couldn't answer like this...
Simply, he asked Zhang Xingcai, "Guess-"
Then, without waiting for her to answer, Guan Lin slipped out of the room as if he was running away. He couldn't stay here for more than a day and night!
…
…
The Luohe River is sparkling, picturesque, poetic and dreamy.
The boat had already stopped at the dock.
After half a day of discussion, Guan Lin came to see Zhang Liao off in person when they were about to leave.
Zhang Liao, on the other hand, looked at the young man in front of him, a young talent who had turned the Wei Kingdom from prosperity to decline in just three and a half years, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
He was going to return the greeting and bow as a courtesy, but Guan Lin clapped his hands first.
Then, boxes were delivered by a group of personal guards.
Guan Lin opened the box, first took out a long sword, and handed it to Zhang Liao, "This is a sword forged with fine steel. I know that the general brought the King of Wei's Yitian Sword with him, but I'm not bragging. Even the Yitian Sword is like a quagmire when facing my sword. It will be broken into pieces when it is cut--"
Fine steel--
Zhang Liao was not unfamiliar with this word. Those so-called Jiangdong rats suddenly defeated him on the battlefield...because of this.
Just as Zhang Liao was throbbing with Guan Lin's generosity,
Guan Lin took out another item, "This is soft cowhide armor, which can be worn as inner armor under clothes, and is invulnerable to ordinary weapons..."
After that, he took out a small crossbow and a steel cylinder and handed them to Zhang Liao.
"General Wenyuan is probably familiar with this crossbow..."
"As for this cylinder, it is called a fire gun...Among the soldiers who followed General Zhang to the north, I specially arranged those who can operate this fire gun skillfully, just to facilitate teaching General Wenyuan along the way..."
"And..."
While speaking, Guan Lin took out a lot of hidden weapons, including plum blossom sleeve arrows and blow arrows...It can be said that all the weapons developed by Mianshui Villa in recent years, all small and easy to operate, he gave them all to Zhang Liao.
So much so...Feeling the heaviness in his arms, Zhang Liao was more and more surprised.
He even couldn't help asking, "Master Guan Si, have you forgotten that it was you who destroyed the Wei Dynasty..."
This sudden question made Guan Lin spread his hands and asked back.
"So what?"
Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed, "Aren't you afraid that I will take these artifacts of yours and attack you in anger?"
Hearing this...
"Ha..." Guan Lin laughed, and said, "My father is a righteous man, Mr. Xu Yuanzhi is a righteous man, General Wenyuan... You are also a righteous man. Cao Cao can trust you, so how can I not trust you? And you are just like the knights of this era, with righteousness as the first priority, saving people in distress, helping all directions... Even if you can think of tricks and conspiracies like mine, you will never implement them... Why should I worry about something that will never happen? Isn't this just worrying about nothing?"
Listening to Guan Lin's words...
Zhang Liao closed his eyes helplessly, pondered for a long time, and then spoke, "I suddenly understand your father's feelings when he made three laws at Tuntu Mountain that day, and was in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han... Maybe he will be as helpless as me when facing you!"
At this point, Zhang Liao said no more, and bowed solemnly to Guan Lin, and Guan Lin also returned the greeting.
"Have a good trip and come back alive..."
Then, he took the box of artifacts, the edict and tokens from the King of Wei, and headed north——
…
It was on a mound not far from the Luo River.
Cao Cao witnessed Zhang Liao sailing north, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Indeed, he was doing the right thing when the Hu Lu entered the pass.
But it also pushed the foundation he built with one hand and the country he conquered with one hand into the quagmire——
Reluctant?
There is always a little reluctance.
But compared to the death of Yuan Shao, his son and nephew attacked each other, tore each other apart, and finally perished.
He still chose to do what he is doing now more firmly.
This is the right thing, and it is also a just thing!
Haha...
Sometimes, Cao Cao also felt that he was not living freely enough.
Or he had experienced too much... so... he looked far away, and he looked at it more openly... and he was less sharp——
Just when Cao Cao was sighing.
Suddenly, the sound of "tap tap" footsteps sounded on the earth slope.
Cao Cao turned around and saw Guan Lin, who was walking towards him step by step.
It turned out that Guan Lin knew that Cao Cao also came to see Zhang Liao off. Although he didn't know why, he didn't send him to the dock, but after seeing Zhang Liao off, Guan Lin still decided to meet Cao Cao once.
He walked straight to Cao Cao and bowed slightly.
"Junior Guan Lin meets the King of Wei--"
Humble and polite, with a low attitude.
He was not the arrogant and unruly image of the rebellious son of the Guan family in the legend.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Cao Cao met Guan Lin face to face at such a close distance.
In fact, he had many questions and many puzzled questions that he wanted to ask Guan Lin, but... after all, there were too many, so many that Cao Cao didn't know where to start.
Guan Lin continued, "I heard from my father and uncle that the King of Wei wants to see me..."
"Actually, I want to know, in addition to Tian Yu, who you planted next to Ziwen in this plan, how many eyes do you have in my Wei? How many people are working for you?"
This...
Guan Lin paused slightly after hearing Cao Cao's words. He was thinking whether to tell Cao Cao everything.
In fact, considering his situation, Cao Cao is no longer a threat now, so it doesn't matter if he tells him...
But Guan Lin's only concern is the truth...
Perhaps for Cao Cao, this truth is a bit painful and heavy.
But...
Alas...Guan Lin sighed in his heart and decided to tell the truth.
"As the King of Wei said, when Tian Yu surrendered recently, I deliberately let him go to save Cao Zhang, and placed a nail next to Cao Zhang... As for, in addition to him, Li Miao, Li Hannan, and Cao Zihuan's rescuers The benefactor...Zhang Fang, who lost his arm in order to save him, they are all my people and have done a lot for me——"
Just the name Zhang Fang...
Cao Cao had doubts.
But because he broke his arm to save Cao Pi, this was enough to eliminate all his suspicions.
But Li Miao...Li Miao?
This is the person he values extremely highly!
Right?
Is he the one scolding Liu Bei in Shu? Scolding Guan Yu in Jingzhou? Being stripped off by Guan Lin and paraded through the streets was a great shame and humiliation! How could he, how could he?
yes…
Even if Cao Cao was suspicious and suspicious of anyone, he would never be suspicious of Li Miao.
The upright Cao Cao was puzzled, but in just a moment, he understood everything.
"It turns out...it turns out they are all your people——"
"I see, I see, even Gu's suspicion has been taken advantage of by you."
"Hehe, hehe... I never thought that the solitary Wei Dynasty would be penetrated to such an extent, that the golden jade on the outside has already been ruined, hehe... hehehe..."
This was Cao Cao's first ironic smile.
Or to be precise, it’s self-deprecation… deep self-deprecation!
In his life, he has never denied himself as much as he does today, completely and completely.
"Hehehe...hehehe..."
Finally, this self-deprecating smile stopped abruptly as time went by. Cao Cao's eyes were as bright as fire, and a feeling he had never experienced before... swept over him, as if he, who had never bowed his head in front of Liu Bei, suddenly appeared before Liu Bei this time. Guan Lin's face was shorter.
How ironic——
"Does King Wei have anything else to ask?"
"The Wei Dynasty is about to be destroyed because of you, what else can I ask?" Cao Cao squinted his eyes, smiled bitterly, but still opened his mouth, "On the contrary... I should beg you, please agree to this last thing!"
Guan Lin guessed, "But the three sons who spared King Wei...Cao Ziwen, Cao Zihuan, and Cao Zijian?"
What Guan Lin thinks is that tiger poison does not eat its seeds...
Cao Cao should be like this, right?
In this time, save his child!
But he still underestimated Cao Cao after all. Cao Cao was never a man who loved his children. He looked directly into Guan Lin's eyes with extremely serious eyes.
Then he said solemnly and word for word, "It's not this! It's..."
"Guan Lin, you must promise Gu that not a single one of the nearly 400,000 Hulu who have entered Guan will go back alive! Did you hear that? Do you understand?"
As if he was afraid that Guan Lin wouldn't react, Cao Cao almost shouted the last two sentences, "Did you hear it? Do you understand it?"
Hoarse…
And at this moment... Guan Lin finally felt, why... even if he, Cao Cao, is the best butcher in the world? Even if he killed so many people? Even if he was criticized verbally and written by literati of all ages!
But no matter what period, no matter what era, he... will have a huge number of people who worship him extremely——
Yes, he committed a serious crime of massacre.
But at the same time, he has also established an immortal and outstanding brilliance, especially on the issue of resisting "foreigners" and protecting the border. His toughness is as strong as ever, which makes people so mesmerized.
Such a hero? How can you not make people admire you from the bottom of their hearts——
With this in mind, Guan Lin raised his hands towards Cao Cao, raised his eyes, and met his fiery gaze.
"Junior, I respectfully obey the orders of General Han Zhengxi——"
"When the Hulu enter the pass, not a single one will survive——"
That's when Guan Lin chanted these words...
Suddenly, the sky seemed to be covered by something. Cao Cao subconsciously raised his eyes and saw hundreds of thousands...no...thousands of flying balls rising above the sky.
Finally, this huge flying ball army, that hateful flying ball army, that terrifying flying ball army, this time... they are no longer against Cao Cao!
They are fighting side by side——
These flying ball soldiers are fighting for him, Cao Cao——
"Woooooh——"
"Woooooh——"
The distant horn has sounded.
More and more flying balls took off one after another and sailed into the clouds...
Cao Cao witnessed all this. He stood there, as if he was reviewing...as the general of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the west, reviewing the soldiers who went on this expedition.
His intoxicated cheeks seemed to be singing silently, and even in the dark, the valley was also responding to him and singing in unison.
At this moment, he seemed to be recalling the time when he was studying in Taixue...
The one who once threatened in Qiao Xuan, Cai Yong, Duan Jiong, and Huangfu Song that he would be the emperor's assistant and the pillar of the country——
And...the one who shouted out the heroic words "You guys look north, I'm heading west" in front of Hulao Pass——
The self who cried out, "The shortcomings of the pillar and the plan——"...
That's me before going black!
but now…
It’s different, everything is different.
Isn't it enough to make a plan?
Haha, haha, now... Cao Cao felt that there was someone who thought the same as him and planned this peaceful age with him——
——"I am the general of the Han Dynasty conquering the west!" 』
——"I am a capable minister in governing the world!" 』
…
…
Bingzhou, Jinyang.
Tian Yu is still nervously preparing for the alliance.
Speaking of which, the alliance is not simple, let alone the alliance with nearly 400,000 barbarians entering the customs.
Where to take the oath?
Where to place them?
The place where they are placed cannot be too far from the place where they take the oath.
Moreover, all those who come to the alliance this time are the top figures in the royal courts of Wuhuan, Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu, and they are their Chanyu and king!
Where Cao Zhang stands on the high platform, where these Chanyu stand, where to swear blood, all these need to be considered comprehensively.
However...
Obviously, this is a bit too embarrassing for a general who has resisted the Hu people for more than 30 years, hates the Hu people very much, and is hated by the Hu people -
It is even more shameful for his generals and soldiers -
Because the place chosen for the Hu people to camp is a mountainous area with trees and forests, which blocks the scorching sun. In comparison...Tian Yu's soldiers are exposed to the scorching sun.
And this is like the last straw that breaks the camel's back...
The soldiers complained and were about to mutiny.
"I just don't know what we are doing? We have been fighting those barbarians in Yanmen for decades, and now, not only do we invite them in, but we also line the streets to welcome them... Hate? Being a soldier is really a coward. Even if we return to the village in the future, we can't raise our heads."
"Yeah... who is willing to serve these barbarians? Whoever wants to serve them? Anyway, I won't serve them..."
"You haven't heard yet? These barbarians made a blood oath with Cao Zhang, and the price for helping him conquer Yecheng was that our Great Wei had to cede dozens of counties in the north, and even Yanmen had to be ceded. This... this is simply..."
The more they talked, the more the soldiers gritted their teeth and the more they hated it.
Similarly, in the big tent, Tian Yu's deputy generals also advised one by one like a string of cannonballs.
"General Tian, you saved Cao Zhang, but he... led the Hu into the house! If we had known this, we... we might as well not have saved him!"
"General, you and the Hu people have a blood feud... Can we do this to our brothers who have been buried on this land?"
"General Tian, if you still do this, and still support Cao Zhang, then... then I am here to resign today. I really can't be the general of Bingzhou for a day."
This has been the complaint that Tian Yu has heard every day in this period of time.
Maybe it's a complaint, or maybe it's a complaint.
But he turned a deaf ear to these... just preparing as always.
Preparing the tents where the Hu people camped.
Preparing the high platform for the blood oath and signing of the terms of humiliation.
Today's Tian Yu seems to be the same as usual... Still silent, turning a deaf ear to the mutiny in the army.
But at this moment,
A letter came from a carrier pigeon.
The mark on the carrier pigeon immediately made Tian Yu nervous. He quickly untied the cloth tied to the carrier pigeon's feet and unfolded it.
His eyes were fixed on it.
But as those words appeared...
"Haha, hahahaha..."
Tian Yu suddenly laughed, and his laughter was extremely clear and cheerful.
He smiled and unfolded the map around Jinyang City.
While unfolding, he said, "Brothers have been wronged during this period... But I also have difficulties..."
These words that came out suddenly made everyone a little confused?
What... What's the situation?
What does it mean?
Tian Yu continued, "But, speaking of this, if I were like you, unable to hide things and calm down, how could I lead you to achieve such great achievements? How could I bury these 400,000 barbarians here!"
Ah... great achievements?
The burial of 400,000 barbarians?
This...
Just when everyone was getting more and more confused.
Tian Yu's hand was pointing to the "West Mountain" in the map.
Everyone's eyes moved over...
Isn't this the green and shady place where the Hu people set up camp? What does this mean?
Tian Yu didn't keep it a secret any longer, "Actually, some of my guards know that I have already surrendered to the Fourth Master Guan, and I came here this time in accordance with the Fourth Master Guan's orders..."
"Since Cao Zhang is doing evil and leading the Hu into the pass, let's just go all out and let all 400,000 Hu captives be buried here!"
As Tian Yu said.
There were still some soldiers who couldn't understand and asked, "General? You..."
"What do you mean you..." There was also a smart one who understood and knocked on the former's forehead, smiling and explaining proudly, "Are the general's words not obvious and clear? Our general has not forgotten those comrades who were stationed at the border and buried in Bingzhou... All that our general did... All this was acting, ah, hahahaha... hahahaha..."
Laugh, laugh, it was a laugh after forbearance, it was an explosive laugh.
And with the explanation of this soldier, everyone immediately understood.
So that's it, so that's it——
But the soldier who explained later asked, "General, we only have a few thousand soldiers here. Even if we block the exit of the West Mountain and ambush it, we can... but we have to annihilate 400,000 barbarians. Difficulty... Difficulty..."
Although the soldier was speechless at the end.
But the meaning couldn't be clearer. A few thousand people destroyed 400,000 people, and they were Hu people with quite strong fighting power. This was not easy.
Tian Yu, on the other hand, looked at the soldier with approval, and then patted his shoulder.
He then turned around and looked up at the sky.
"A few thousand people? So you only saw a few thousand people?"
"How come this general saw the divine soldiers descending from the sky, and saw the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Han troops, descending from the sky and covering the battlefield in Jinyang?"
Here, Tian Yu paused.
Then, as if across the mountains, he had seen the West Mountain, the upcoming battlefield, and he could even imagine... the scene that was about to appear there!
His eyes became more focused, "This general... seems to have seen the same Fancheng as in the past, the Mang Mountain in the north of Luoyang as in the past, and the beginning of the rise and fall of the Wei Dynasty. It was the same war and the same sea of purgatory——"
…
…
Above Luoyang City, flying balls continued to rise.
A formation had about two hundred flying balls, and it took about two hours for the entire formation to take off... Next, it was the next formation, and it went on and on.
It was precisely because of this that after flying for a whole day, all the flying balls still failed to take off completely.
This made us marvel at the powerful productivity of the assembly line of the Mianshui Villa, and the excellent flying soldiers they trained.
Liu Bei was watching the flying balls take off one by one.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Jiang Wan, He Qi, Lu Xun, Fu Shiren, Hou Yin, Jiang Wei and others were all waiting patiently with their elite troops.
"Brother, it's the turn of the Guan family army. I'll go now--"
The Guan family army has begun to board the flying ball one after another...
Guan Yu also asked Liu Bei for instructions.
Liu Bei was about to say something encouraging when... a personal guard reported. "My lord, the emperor's envoy Zhang Yin and Fu Bao Lang Zu Bi are asking for an audience."
Liu Bei was not surprised that the emperor sent an envoy to see him.
It's just... "Fu Bao Lang" is a high position in the Han officialdom that controls the imperial seal. Why would His Majesty send such an official?
"What does your Majesty mean?"
Liu Bei chanted, and then hurriedly ordered, "The emperor's envoys, do not neglect them, bring them here quickly..."
It was precisely because of this little episode that Guan Yu, who was originally going to take the flying ball, let the Guan family soldiers take off first, and he deliberately stayed behind.
Not long after, Zhang Yin and Fu Baolang Zu Bi walked quickly and saluted Liu Bei, "Uncle Liu, I, the envoy of Gaomiao, Zhang Yin and Fu Baolang Zu Bi, come to convey your Majesty's order."
Hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly lifted his robe and knelt down, "What does your Majesty want?"
While speaking, Liu Bei noticed that Zu Bi was still holding the "Imperial Seal" in his hand, which symbolized unlimited power--
At this time, the envoy Zhang Yin unfolded the imperial edict and read, "I have heard that anyone who inherits the mandate of heaven and establishes the royal family must rely on the strength of his limbs. I have seen that under the command of the Left General of Han and Uncle Bei, there are many brave and heroic men with outstanding achievements. They are indeed the pillars of the country. Therefore, I I hereby announce to the world that Zhuge Liang is the Prime Minister and Military Advisor of the Han Dynasty, Fa Zheng is the Shangshu Ling, Xu Jing is the Taifu, and in addition, Guan Yu is the Front General, Zhang Fei is the Right General, Ma Chao is the Left General, Huang Zhong is the Rear General, and Zhao Yun is the Central Guard. These five generals are named the "Five Tiger Generals" to show their loyalty and bravery, encourage their military spirit, and support the Han Dynasty. The Prime Minister and Shangshu Ling will each designate their merits and titles for the rest of the civil and military officials. This is hereby announced to the world so that everyone can hear it——"
Hmm...
When this edict was delivered, Liu Bei was undoubtedly surprised, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong, who were about to go on the flying ball, were also surprised.
By the way, after Guan Lin saved the emperor, Liu Bei sent a document to praise his merits...
He even proposed the concept of "Five Tiger Generals", but after all, he had not met the emperor yet, and did not elaborate on the merits of these people in detail. Liu Bei was even afraid of "threatening" the emperor, so he used quite implicit words.
But even so...
This edict of enthronement came with him when he arrived in Luoyang.
It seems that the emperor's trust in Yu is a bit too great-
"I thank your majesty on behalf of the generals and counselors-"
As he said this, Liu Bei was about to bow his head.
But at this moment, a rough voice sounded, "Brother..." It was Zhang Fei's voice.
He actually snatched the edict directly, read it again and again, and then questioned the emperor's envoy: "What does the emperor mean? Why are there only our enthronements? But not my brother's enthronement?"
Zhang Fei's words shocked everyone.
Liu Bei shouted angrily, "Yide, you can't be rude to the emperor's envoy..."
"I'm telling the truth... Not only is there no canonization for my elder brother? There is also no canonization for Yunqi? How... does the emperor want to alienate us?"
The words were rough but the truth was true...
Zhang Fei's words immediately aroused everyone's vigilance.
Guan Yu also stepped forward and approached the envoy Zhang Yin. He pointed at the flying ball behind him, "Under the guidance of my elder brother, we supported the Han Dynasty and were willing to fly to the sky and hide on the ground, and even hang our heads on our waists. But the emperor only bypassed my elder brother in a canonization? What does this mean? Today, if you can't explain it clearly, Guan doesn't mind taking you to the sky to experience it..."
"Second brother..." Liu Bei shouted.
As Zhang Fei and Guan Yu spoke, more people's voices emerged...
The envoy Zhang Yin was already a little overwhelmed, "Your Majesty didn't mean that, generals, calm down, Your Majesty didn't mean that..."
Seeing that everyone was about to push the emperor's envoy...
Liu Bei immediately stretched out his hand, "You, step back--" He directly stopped everyone with his body, and at the same time, he drew out his double-edged sword and pointed it at everyone.
"Remember, we are all Han ministers. Your Majesty's reward is His Majesty's grace. As ministers, how can we question His Majesty's decision? I have made a statement today. Whoever dares to embarrass the emperor again will no longer be my brother--"
This...
Sure enough, Liu Bei's words stopped the noise of the crowd.
"You, step back--"
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly turned cold, Fu Baolang Zubi quickly stepped forward and explained, "Everyone, please calm down, everyone please calm down..."
As he spoke, he opened the sandalwood box in his hand and took out the jade seal.
"Uncle Liu Huang, Your Majesty, there is still an oral message."
As soon as he said this, there was a "click" and Liu Bei knelt down again.
Fu Baolang Zubi held up the jade seal high and began to chant: "Uncle Zi'er: The former emperor Yao Chan was in Yu and Shun, and Shun also ordered Yu. The destiny is not permanent, but it is virtuous. The Han Dynasty was late, and the order of the world was lost. After descending upon me, there was great chaos and chaos, and the rebellion was rampant, and the whole country was overthrown. It was difficult for all parties to save it, thanks to the power of the Emperor's uncle. However, the Qing Dynasty was able to protect our ancestral temple and restore the order of the Han Dynasty. How could anyone win the throne? Jiufu is indeed a gift from him. Today, the king has inherited his legacy and brought great achievements in civil and military affairs. The emperor's spirit descended upon him, and people and gods came to tell him that he was born brilliantly. Qian said: Erdu defeated Yushun and led me to the Tang Dynasty. I respected you for your position. The calendar of heaven is in the Han Dynasty, and it is also in your bow. I will hold on to it and my fortune will last forever. You will only obey the great ceremony. , serve all nations and inherit the destiny of heaven.”
This is a Zen edict.
That is, when this edict was taken out, everyone was silent.
After a brief silence.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Fei laughed... "That's right, nothing can inspire our soldiers more than this? Hahaha, let's go, let's go, fly the ball, let's go to the war -"
When Zhang Fei said this, Guan Yu also handed over his hand, "Brother, this is your Majesty the Zen Emperor!"
Liu Bei still couldn't kneel down. He asked Fu Baolang Zubi: "What does your Majesty mean by this? Why does your Majesty think that Yu Bei is unjust? Is this your Majesty's test of Yu Bei?"
Zu Bi quickly explained, "That's not what your Majesty meant. If it was just a test, why did you ask me to come here with the imperial seal? Your Majesty said that the emperor's uncle is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing after King Jing of Zhongshan. His Majesty's Zen position is also the great-great-grandson... It does not violate The teachings of the great ancestor are also worthy of the past emperors in that ancestral hall!"
"The emperor said so, brother..." Zhang Fei was furious, even happier than Liu Bei.
But Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Bei swears not to be such a usurper!"
You know, in history... when Liu Bei won the Battle of Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Xu Jing and others all respected Liu Bei as emperor.
This behavior does not mean that...Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei acted arrogantly and usurped.
Zhuge Liang's intention was to let Liu Bei succeed to the throne, and then respect Liu Xie as the "Emperor", so as to save the country in this way——
But that time, Liu Bei didn't agree, and this time... it will be no exception.
"Excuse me, the angel leader, to go see your majesty..."
Speaking of this, Liu Bei did not forget to emphasize, "Bei will go alone and ride alone... Bei must tell His Majesty personally that Bei has no intention of arrogance..."
"But... Your Majesty specially stayed at Mianshui Villa in Jiangling, Jingzhou." Zhang Yin replied truthfully.
Liu Bei, however, was as resolute as ever, "Then Bei will also rush to Mianshui Villa to see His Majesty——"
Having said this, Liu Bei turned around and warned all the civil and military personnel who were about to go on the expedition, "You must remember that you are the Five Tiger Generals conferred by His Majesty. This is the first battle after the conferment. Your Majesty is waiting for your meritorious service——"
"promise…"
Seeing Liu Bei's determination, everyone had no choice but to respond.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong no longer stayed, and one by one they jumped on the flying ball——
Until I saw them leaving...
Liu Bei just solemnly asked the emperor's envoy, "Why does your majesty have such thoughts?"
Zhang Yin hesitated to speak...
But Zu Bi opened his mouth: "Your Majesty has been a puppet for half his life. This time, he doesn't want to be a puppet anymore..."
"call…"
Hearing this, Liu Bei let out a long sigh, but he suddenly thought of something, "Yun Qi once mentioned a system called 'constitutional monarchy'. He mentioned it in his letter, saying that His Majesty has no objection to this system? Why? …”
"Alas..." Zu Bi sighed, and he turned towards Liu Bei solemnly, "Uncle, no matter what kind of system it is? Now Your Majesty... does it matter whether he has any objections? No matter what kind of system, if Uncle Emperor regards Your Majesty as a puppet , How can your Majesty have any chance to resist?"
Having said this, Zu Bi shook his head again and chanted the last sentence.
"Perhaps your Majesty can trust Mr. Yunqi, but your Majesty may not trust you, uncle—"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei felt mixed emotions.
…
…
Cao Zhang, Tian Yu and a group of lieutenants were divided into two teams to wait for Cao Zhi, Xiahou Dun and Li Miao in front of the gate of Jinyang City.
The sound of horse hooves gradually sounded on the official road. Cao Zhi, wearing a cloak, came first with Li Miao and Xiahou Dun.
In fact, Xiahou Dun said that he had gathered what he called 20,000 soldiers, but the water content is self-evident. The real number is probably several thousand.
Seeing Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang waved and said: "Zijian, Zijian——"
He, Tian Yu and others rushed to greet him. Cao Zhi was obviously surprised to see his brother coming to pick him up, so he quickly got off his horse.
Cao Zhang supported him and said, "Zijian, you're good to come. Now that you're here, we brothers are united, so Cao Zihuan is not worthy of being a Daoist. Come on, come on, brother is thinking about you. Oh, hey, you're all thin." Oh...well, where are your soldiers?"
Cao Zhi responded innocently: "We are going at a fast pace. More than 20,000 soldiers are still behind us. I am afraid it will take two or three days to arrive..."
"Then we won't be able to catch up with the alliance meeting in the future!" Cao Zhang said with some regret, "Is Zijian tired from galloping for several days? Isn't it very hard?"
"Being able to meet Third Brother, this hard work is nothing!"
As Cao Zhi finished speaking.
Cao Zhang turned around and pointed at the mountains to the west of Jinyang City and the clearly visible General Commanding Platform under the mountains, "Zijian, it will be there in the future where you and I will make an alliance with those barbarians." , borrow their soldiers to take back everything our Wei Dynasty has lost——"
Mention this…
Before Cao Zhi could open his mouth, Xiahou Dun shouted: "Cao Ziwen, you are confused...you..."
Before Xiahou Dun could finish his words, Cao Zhang replied impatiently: "I am also doing this to save my father! Uncle, why don't you tell me? Apart from this, is there any other way to save my father? Is it possible, Just based on the few tens of thousands of people in Zihuan Ye City?"
At this point, he added disdainfully, "Haha, I'm afraid it's not enough to fill the gap between Guan Lin's teeth, right?"
"You..." Xiahou Dun was speechless and choked...
Cao Zhi spoke quickly to ease the awkward atmosphere, "Third brother, I want to beg you..."
"Between you and me, what's the point of not asking for anything?" Cao Zhang waved his hand rather boldly, "This world is mine and yours... To be honest... my father likes you, even if you succeed as King of Wei, Brother Wei is also a strong supporter, brother, just be a general who assists the country, ah, hahahaha..."
Cao Zhang said it beautifully.
However, this was never what Cao Zhi wanted.
"Third Brother, actually I have no intention of taking this position. I just ask... that after Third Brother takes the city of Ye, he will... hand over Sister Zhen to me——"
Well…
Cao Zhang didn't expect Cao Zhi to say that.
After just a very brief moment of confusion, "Hahahaha, hahahaha..." Cao Zhang laughed, "What else am I talking about? Alas, the third brother almost forgot, Zijian is a talented man, and a talented man must match a beautiful woman. Well, hahaha, isn't it our sister-in-law? In this regard, you are like my father, but... Zijian, relax, let alone my sister-in-law, you just like one of my concubines and asked me to give it to you You and I, Cao Zhang, won’t blink an eye.”
Speaking of which…
Hahahaha... Cao Zhang laughed again, then pointed to the high platform, and while pulling Cao Zhi forward, he introduced: "Zijian, I want to tell you, this time... Xianbei King Kebineng, the Southern Huns The leader Hu Chuquan, Zuo Xian King Liu Bao, Wuhuan King Su Puyan... they will all come..."
Kebineng, Huchuquan, and Su Puyan are the kings of these three Hus...
Liu Bao, the Xian King of Zuo, was the son of Huchuquan. He abducted Cai Wenji and gave him the instrument of Huqin, Pipa and Qiangdi. He also gave birth to a boy and a girl.
These names were somewhat unfamiliar to Cao Zhi, but neither Li Miao nor Xiahou Dun were unfamiliar.
Mention this alliance matter honestly...
Suddenly, a soldier ran over quickly, trying to slap his mouth to Cao Zhang's ear and report something to him.
Cao Zhang waved his hand, "Zijian is my most beloved relative and friend. We share this great Wei Dynasty. It doesn't matter if we speak frankly. There is nothing to hide!"
Hearing this…
The soldiers just reported, "There is news... General Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan left Luoyang and went up the waterway. He sent someone to inform him in advance, saying that he was carrying the King's seal and decree on his trip -"
"ah…"
This sudden news shocked Cao Zhang, "Zhang Wenyuan? Didn't he defeat more than ten Han generals alone and was seriously injured in the end? Why did Guan Lin let him go?"
Hearing this, Li Miao and Tian Yu said in unison, "I want to come..."
It seemed that he suddenly found the other party speaking again.
The two of them closed their mouths in a tacit understanding, and finally Li Miao opened his mouth, "I think it's because General Wenyuan was seriously injured and is no longer a threat, so... then Guan Lin let him go!"
"Then..." Cao Zhang put his hand on his chin and speculated, "Then he carries his father's seal and royal edict. What does that mean?"
This time it was Tian Yu who spoke, "The seal represents the throne. Since the seal comes to merge the state, what does the king's edict mean? Isn't it clear at a glance?"
"But...this isn't right!" Cao Zhang slapped his forehead, "My father wants to pass this son on to me...but how can Guan Lin let him go?"
"Then Guan Lin doesn't want the young masters to fight among themselves?"
Li Miao's words completely cleared Cao Zhang's doubts...
"So that's it, that's it..." Cao Zhang suddenly realized, "It's just a pity that his calculations were wrong this time... I have an army of 400,000 barbarians, which is enough to take back everything that the Wei Dynasty lost -"
Speaking of which…
His eyes were gleaming and his face was ferocious. He turned around and held his waist with his hands.
"Haha, since General Wenyuan has brought my father's seal and ribbon, well, let's invite him to go up to the high platform and let him read out his father's edict during the alliance..."
Having said this, he turned his eyes faintly to Cao Zhi, and he seemed to have thought of something again, "No matter whether my father chooses me or Zijian, Zijian and I are sincerely united and work together..."
"No..." Cao Zhi waved his hand quickly, "I don't want this seal and ribbon, I... I just want Sister Zhen..."
"Hahahaha..." As soon as he said this, Cao Zhang laughed, smiling very proudly.
Afterwards...Cao Zhang was in a good mood and insisted on dragging Cao Zhi out for a drink.
Li Miao did not attend...
And when he returned to his post house, there were already disciples of the Beggar Clan guarding him.
Li Miao was very familiar with this person. He was Lu Youjiao...
He has many questions to ask.
"Time is of the essence, Mr. Li, don't ask anything...I am waiting here because I received a letter from Mr. Yun Qi, and I want to give this letter to you."
While speaking, Lu Youjiao had already handed a thin piece of silk to Li Miao.
Li Miao quickly took it and stared at the words on it.
He seemed a little surprised, but the surprise only lasted for a moment, and then he let out a faint sigh and said something like waking up from a dream: "So that's it——"
…
…
Yangcheng, Kuching is located under the West Mountain and faces the surging Fen River in the east. It is known as the "Land of Four Fortresses"——
As the saying goes, the center of the four fortresses controls the capital of the five plains!
Of course, these are not important...
Today's Jinyang City and today's Xishan are destined to become famous all over the world in another way, and their fame will last forever!
"woo woo woo woo--"
Accompanied by a majestic horn.
Countless Hulu were arrayed under the high platform... there were thousands of them. In fact, this was less than 10% of the number of Hulu who entered the pass this time.
More, they were placed by Tian Yu in a shady place near the high platform at the foot of the Western Mountain.
Enjoy delicious food and drink!
"Woooooh——"
There was another majestic horn, like a generous war song, and the majestic ancient music began to sing across the land of Bingzhou.
At this time...
There are already messengers shouting.
"The king of Xianbei, Kebi, can bring 300,000 Xianbei string-controllers to join the alliance——"
"The Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu is called Huchuquan, and Liu Bao, the Xian King of Zuo, leads the five tribes of the Southern Xiongnu, with a total of 100,000 fine horses coming to join the alliance——"
"Wuhuan King Su Puyan brought 30,000 Wuhuan warriors to join the alliance——"
When such a voice comes out.
These kings stepped onto the stage with their respective tribal leaders, and the stage was full...
However, Xianbei King Kebi Neng looked at Wuhuan King Su Puyan with a somewhat contemptuous look, "What? There are only so many men at the foot of Wuhuan Mountain?"
Wuhuan King Su Puyan was quite helpless: "If Zhang Liao hadn't killed my king Tadun in the battle at Bailang Mountain...and Cao Cao had slaughtered Liucheng, how could Wuhuan have declined to this point? How could we have lost the royal court and lost the king? Got a man..."
Because Zhang Liao was mentioned, Liu Bao, the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King, subconsciously asked a question.
"Zhang Liao? But that descendant of the Yanmen Nie family, who changed his name and called Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan? I heard that in the battle with Soochow, he led 800 people to break out of 100,000... He killed Soochow to the point of pissing off! "
I heard eight hundred to one hundred thousand...
Wuhuan King Su Puyan couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion, "Back in Bailang Mountain, he didn't bring many people -"
Let’s discuss this honestly.
"Woooooh——"
The trumpet sounds again...
What followed was a new round of shouting from the messengers: "Cao Zhi, the fourth son of the Wei Dynasty, and Xiahou Dun, the general of the Wei Dynasty, led 20,000 elites to join the alliance..."
"Twenty thousand?"
Hearing this number, King Kebineng of Xianbei burst into laughter, and his laughter was extremely rampant, "I never thought that the Wei Dynasty, which was prosperous in the past and suppressed Xianbei, would end up in such a situation now... It's sad, but Sigh! In fact, Cao Zhang doesn’t have many soldiers anymore... What’s wrong with the powerful Wei?"
On the other hand, Hu Chuquan, the Shanyu of the Southern Huns, narrowed his eyes. He pondered for a moment, and then said, "If this were not the case, how could Cao Zhang agree to our request?"
"Yes..." Liu Bao, the Xian King of Zuo, continued, "He is willing to cut off half of Bingzhou. Haha, this was something that the former King of Wei, Cao Cao, would never dare to think about-"
"I think..." Xianbei Wang Kebineng showed greedy eyes and a surging smile, "later, we can make the conditions more stringent. The Wei army only has this, and we are not afraid that Cao Zhang will not agree. us?"
At this point, several people were almost on the high platform.
But they looked at each other, and then laughed greedily, rampantly, and arrogantly.
It was as if the decline of Wei Dynasty allowed them to take a piece of the pie with ease.
Cao Zhang, who was on the high platform, laughed and stepped forward when he saw the reinforcements coming.
"Hahaha... This general has been waiting for you!"
The smiles and flattering voices made these barbarian leaders even more contemptuous of Cao Wei...
But at this moment...
Just when these barbarian leaders were thinking about their more greedy ambitions.
"Woooooh——"
There was another blast of horns.
The shouts of the messengers came as expected.
But only this time, this voice made all the barbarians here tremble in their hearts.
"Zhang Liao, the general of the Great Wei Dynasty who conquered the east, came with his bodyguards to join the alliance——"
Zhang Liao——
A person’s name is like a tree’s shadow!
Just the name Zhang Liao, just these two words, made all the barbarians tremble subconsciously.
You know, they were just talking about...
Especially King Wuhuan, he...he was shaking so much that his legs staggered and he fell directly.
Even when the personal guards came to help him, he was still shaking all over.
It's like... it's like a certain kind of bloodline suppression, from the outside to the inside... quickly spreading to the bones.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan!
White Wolf Mountain!
This is an extremely scary name——
This is a memory that cannot be looked back upon——
